Views from the conference floor
Over the last couple of years as part of our online coverage of conference different delegates have written about their conference experiences for us, this year is no different and here are our delegates' views from conference floor.
Friday Evening
Cllr Patrick Nulty (Dublin West)
Last night Labour Party president Michael D. Higgins delivered a speech characterised by a clear analysis of the political challenges facing our country.
Michael D. exposed the moral bankrupcy at the heart of the neo-liberal philosophy that guides Fianna Fail economic policy. Even more importantly Michael D. argued that the Labour Party has a distinctive set of values that set us apart from the conservative politics of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael.
Michael D.'s speech reflected the optimism, confidence and determination that this party conference has at its heart. No longer are Labour prepared to settle for being in government - we are ready to lead the next government.
